No, sorry, it's glassed in :)

Still working on my layout for this map...life *slammed* me with jobs over the weekend so I haven't had any time to work on this for a bit. I've got a bit of free time now, however.

Question: is it a bad idea to compile with _lightmapscale 0.1 or 0.05 if I don't mind long compile times?

OOo, random hallways. Fun fun fun.

I hate making random hallways :(

Ooops. I hit MAX_LIGHTMAPS on my last compile.
Hmmm, I guess I shouldn't use _lightmapscale 0.2

Anyways, new hallway! I went a little insane on the patch meshes, if you look a the lights closely you'll notice.

Finally your map is starting to look awesome! Please fucking continue!

@supertanker: Don't be stupid like me and set _lms to a low value in the worldspawn. It applies high resolution lightmaps to everything, including all those spots where you would never notice them. Best thing to do is to func_group specific pieces of your map and applying a low _lms to it. That way you have the best trade-off between looks, compile time and BSP size, not to mention the loading times of the map:)

Portal skies sure are annoying in a way.

Is it possible to keep the geometry of a _skybox entity from 'extruding' past the sky portal brushes into the actual map? I made a portal sky with some low-poly tri-soup ground, but I could see the ground in a room with no view of the sky if I looked down a deep pit!

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but was there a sky within the PVS from that spot?

If you have (for example) 2 windows in opposing rooms with a skybox inbetween and they share the same PVS, you can see 'through' into the other parts of the map (which currently are in the PVS). I hope I said this correctly, it's a really annoying problem.

Bleh, I just gave up on the sky. I'll make little outdoor areas with terrain instead :/

I really need to finalize a design for the human control-room base

You know, maybe I'll actually finish this after I get Station15 done.

Or maybe not....I think the map grew to be too big...
